Liberty County investigators have uncovered a treasure trove of stolen items concealed on a wooded lot off U.S. 59 that also contained a marijuana growing operation, a methamphetamine stash and a rocket launcher.

Eight deputies were spending hours processing the site on County Road 389 near Pebble Creek after making the discovery late Wednesday night, said Liberty County Sheriff's Capt. Rex Evans.

Officers initially went there in response to a Crime Stoppers tip about suspected narcotics activity, constant fighting and disturbances from individuals coming and going all hours of the day and night, Evans said.

So far dozens of stolen items have been recovered including everything multiple guns, electronic items and auto parts, he said.

"We think this was a chop shop where thieves came to barter and sell things for drugs and other items," he said.

Several individuals have been taken into custody but their names have not yet been released.
